This is a nice suburban park with very easy access to two small islands.  Take time to circle the islands, watching for boat traffic.  You won't find facilities here, but you will find a relaxing atmosphere!

From Cates Park, head North on Dollarton Highway for 1.6km, then right onto Strathcona.  Wind around for less than a kilometer until you find the parking below.

Strathcona

I have dove this site lots and is one of my favorite sites. Easy entry from either the pier or the boat launch at the park. Long swim out to the southeast point of the island before making the descent but when down there, it's pretty around the rocks. Saw octopus in the kelp at 20 feet on a night dive, place is buzzing with shrimp, sole, rockfish and an insane amount of crabs. Current can get strong on the tip of the rocks so watch for tide times.
